T The PURPLE People Eater - Sheb Wooley?

Y - Yellow Submarine, The Beatles. One of the few songs sung by Ringo -(after whom one of my previous dogs was named!).

 

[mikemiller]

Yes, I was thinking of that one.
Re Ringo - I quite liked "It don't come easy" and "Back off Boogaloo" too, although he mainly just did pub singalongs after that.
I have been to the terraced house where he used to live in Liverpool and met his aunty (it was part of the official Liverpool Magical Mystery tour), which also went to Strawberry Fields (behind the house where John Lennon lived as a child), and Penny Lane (there really was a fire station, a bank, and a barbers shop there , just like in the song). Good fun!
Was there a real yellow submarine down at the docks? If there was, we didn't visit it on the tour. Enjoyable film though! (Got it on video)

Z Zoo BLUES - Robin Williamson . Founder member of the Incredible String Band (Clip on YouTube)

 

[herringthorpe]

I did a Beatles tour too, Mike, a couple of years ago. Don't recall a yellow submarine - though there is one in Playa Blanca in Lanzarote!

Well another one done and dusted!

Thanks to everyone for joining in!

Of course my favourite Red is C'mon You Reds! sung by the Millers fans.

Hmmmm
That song is familiar to me too - though not by 'Millers' fans

TalkSport Radio is having a phone-in now (4.10 pm )- "Songs with colours in their titles". Has somebody from TalkSport been reading this website?

 

[herringthorpe]

Well you never know, Mike!

Did you let them know you knew at least twenty-six!

Darren Bent was keen on "Purple Lamborghini" by Skrillex and Rick Ross. Somebody else had "Purple Rain" by Prince. Then they got a bit stuck after that.
They would be have been struggling a bit on here!
